A mountain stream is 15.9 m wide and averages 1.47 m in depth. During the spring runoff, the flow in the stream reaches 303,000 m/s. (a) What is the average velocity (in m/s) of the stream under these conditions? m/s (b) What is unreasonable about this velocity? (c) What is unreasonable or inconsistent about the premises?
